Definitions

  • the present invention concerns Vgll3 a new target involved in adipogenesis modulation.
  • the present invention relates to methods to increase Vgll3 activity in adipocytes and preadipocytes.
  • pharmaceutical compositions comprising a molecule for enhancing VglI3 activity in a target tissue are also provided. These methods, compositions and molecules can be useful to modulate adipogenesis and thus treat obesity and related disorders.
  • Obesity is a major risk factor for a number of disorders including hypertension, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Because of the importance of the obesity epidemic, a great deal of investigation has centered on the biology of the adipocyte, including the developmental pathway by which new adipocytes are created. Adipogenesis is the process by which undifferentiated mesenchymal precursor DCis become mature adipocytes.
  • adipocyte differentiation involves sequential activation of transcription factors from several families such as CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBP ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ ) and the nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ⁇ (PPAR ⁇ ) (Rosen, E.D. et al., 2002).
  • C/EBP ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins
  • PPAR ⁇ nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ⁇
  • PPAR ⁇ nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ⁇
  • KLF2 KLF2, 5 and KLF15
  • adipose tissue Storage of fat in adipose tissue is limited and exceeding this capacity leads to accumulation of lipids in others tissues, in particular in muscle, liver, and the endocrine pancreas, and to the secretion by adipocytes of various adipokines.
  • the adipose tissue consists of several deposits located at different anatomical sites which may originate from distinct precursors and which have different physiological functions and pathophysiological roles. The visceral, as opposed to the subcutaneous adipose depots, may contribute more to the defects associated with the metabolic syndrome.
  • Cannabinoid 1 receptors have been identified in all organs playing a key role in glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes, i.e. adipose tissue, the gastrointestinal tract, the liver, the skeletal muscle and the pancreas. Rimonabant, the first selective cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1 R) antagonist in clinical use, has been shown to reduce food intake and body weight thus improving glucose metabolism regulation.
  • CB1 R cannabinoid receptor 1
  • VglI3 Vestigial-like 3 factor belongs to the vestigial family, which contains 3 members. It was first described in Drosophila melanogaster as a co-factor of transcription that might be involved in wing development (Paumard-Rigal, S. et al., 1998). VglI3 is located inside the nucleus and might interact with the adipogenic transcriptional cascade. Recently the second member, VglI2, has been linked to muscle development in mammals (Chen, H. H., T., et al., 2004). This family of proteins is expressed in precursor cells that presumably commit to either adipocyte or muscle cells.
  • VglI3 plays a critical role in adipocyte differentiation. VglI3 is therefore considered as a new relevant target for modulation of adipogenesis, and thus for the treatment of obesity and related disorders. Overexpression of VglI3 can also be used for reduction of adipogenesis for reduction of visceral and/or subcutaneous fat accumulation.
  • the present invention is dawn to methods for regulation of adipogenesis and metabolic function in adipocytes and preadipocytes.
  • the present invention consists in VglI3 activity enhancing molecules able to increase VglI3 activity in preadipocytes or adipocytes. Such molecules are useful to obtain a reduction of visceral and/or subcutaneous fat. They thus can be used for the preparation of a medicament to reduce adipogenesis, in particular for treatment of obesity and related disorders.
  • VglI3 activity enhancing molecules encompasses compounds able to increase VglI3 activity and vectors expressing a VglI3 recombinant protein. These two kinds of molecules are described in details below.
  • related disorders in “obesity and related disorders” encompasses hypertension, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
  • the inventors identified genes whose expression was correlated with body weight gain in cohorts of C57BI/6 mice fed a high fat diet. Then, they conducted a second analysis in order to evaluate the changes in gene expression induced by Rimonabant treatment of the high fat diet fed mice. Genes which have never been described before in adipocyte biology, but which might be involved in important biological processes such as signaling, modification of extracellular matrix proteins, and gene transcription were retained. These genes could be important for adipogenesis especially since they might be involved in the mechanism by which Rimonabant reduces fat mass in mice. In this context, VglI3 was identified as involved in adipocytes metabolism, especially in new signaling pathway. More generally, this gene appears to play a role in adipogenesis and control of adipose tissue development in obesity.
  • Enhancing VglI3 activity in adipocytes and preadipocytes can be useful in therapeutics to modulate adipogenesis, especially to reduce adipogenesis, in particular in the treatment and prevention of obesity related disorders, which are type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disorders and more generally metabolic syndromes.
  • Enhancing VglI3 activity in adipocytes and preadipocytes can also be useful for cosmetic applications in order to reduce disgraceful fat accumulation.
  • VglI3 activity can be increased in adipocytes and preadipocytes using small molecules that enhance the transcription of VglI3.
  • Such compounds able to increase VglI3 activity can be identified using methods well known by the person skilled of the art.
  • One method can be a reporting system consisting in the promoter of VglI3 linked in frame to a reporter gene and expressed in a suitable cell line; the reporter gene product's activity can be quantitatively measured.
  • a compound that enhances the expression of the reporter gene can be considered as a potential candidate.
  • reporter genes that can be used in such reporting systems are numerous and well known in the art.
  • reporter genes can be genes allowing expression of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), luciferase, ⁇ - galactosidase...
  • GFP Green Fluorescent Protein
  • luciferase luciferase

Once confluence was reached, cells were exposed to differentiation medium containing dexamethasone (1 ⁇ M), insulin (5 ⁇ g/ml), and isobutylmethylxanthine (0.5 ⁇ M) (DMI). After 2 days cells were maintained in medium containing insulin (5 ⁇ g/ml) until ready for harvest at 7 days.
  • the staining solution was prepared by dissolving 0.5 g oil-red-O in 100 ml of isopropanol; 60 ml of this solution was mixed with 40 ml of distilled water. After 1 hour at room temperature the staining solution was filtered and added to dishes for 4 hours. The staining solution was then removed and cells were washed twice with distilled water.
  • Retroviruses were constructed in the RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ ZsGreen (pSIREN Clontech) or pMSCV puromycin plasmid (pMSCV, Clontech). Viral constructs were transfected using calcium-phosphate method described in Jordan, M., et al . (2004) into 293 HEK packaging cells along with constructs encoding gag-pol and the VSV-G protein. Supernatants were harvested after 48h in presence of 3 ⁇ m of Trichostatin A (Sigma) and either used immediately or snap frozen and stored at -80°C for later use. Viral supernatants were added to the cells for 6 hours in the presence of polybrene (4 ⁇ g/ml) and diluted two times with fresh medium for the next 15 hours.
  • Trichostatin A Sigma
  • a modified pMSCV puromycin retroviral plasmid (from Clontech) expressing a GFP marker was used to over-expressed the cDNA of VglI3 into cells.
  • the cDNA (SEQ ID NO.15) was inserted blunted into the hpal restriction site from the multicloning site of pMSCV. The resulting colonies were tested for the right orientation and selected by enzymes digestion. The right clone was selected and amplified and used for retroviral infection of 3T3-L1 cells.
  • Bioinformatic analysis of the microarray data was performed to identify genes that fulfilled the three following criteria: (i) regulated by high fat feeding, (ii) similar regulated expression by high fat feeding in both visceral and subcutaneous fat and (iii) similar normalization of their expression by Rimonabant treatment ( Figure 1 ).
  • 34 genes fulfilled these criteria, which are listed in Table 1.
  • 10 of these genes - Cav1, Fgf1, Fndc3b, Kif5b, Mest, Npr3, Pik3ca, Sparc, Vldlr, and Wwtr1 - were previously known to be important regulators of adipose tissue development and function.
  • genes cited in table 1 have never been studied in the context of in adipose tissue development or biology. These genes belong to the following classes of function: extracellular matrix/cell interaction, cytoskeleton, intracellular signalling, enzymes, and transcription factors/co-factors. They are likely involved in tissue remodelling, and particularly in adipocyte development.
  • VglI3 gene and its role in adipocyte biology is presented herein and constitutes one aspect of the present invention.
  • VglI3 as used in the present invention corresponds to SEQ ID NO.1 and NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.3 and NO.4 respectively.
  • Example 2 Tissue and cellular expression of the selected genes
  • VglI3 in adipocytes development, its pattern of expression was first characterized. mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR in various mouse tissues, in isolated preadipocytes and adipocytes, in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) of mouse obesity model (Ob/Ob mice) and in human adipose tissues.
  • VAT visceral adipose tissue
  • SCAT subcutaneous adipose tissue
  • VglI3 is highly expressed in kidney compared to other organs. It has a similar expression in VAT, SCAT, muscle and heart. The lowest expression is observed in liver, BAT and spleen. VglI3 levels are normalized with cyclophilin A levels for each tissue and are expressed as relative fold increase compared to the liver level set arbitrarily at 1 ( Figure 2A ).
  • Adipose tissue is a complex tissue that includes not only mature adipocytes, but also precursor cells such as preadipocytes as well as blood vessels, macrophages and fibroblastic cells. Based on a collagenase I digestion technique, stromal vascular fraction (SVF) (including preadipocyte, endothelial and macrophage cells) was separated from the isolated adipocyte fraction.
  • stromal vascular fraction SVF
  • Adipose tissue is a complex tissue that includes not only mature adipocytes, but also precursor cells such as preadipocytes as well as blood vessels, macrophages and fibroblastic cells.
  • stromal vascular fraction SVF (including preadipocyte, endothelial and macrophage cells) was separated from the isolated adipocyte fraction.
  • VglI3 is predominantly expressed in the stromal vascular fraction, containing preadipocytes ( Figure 2C ).
  • the next step was to determine whether VglI3 gene is conserved among species.
  • a RT-PCR was performed on human adipose tissue samples. Preadipocytes and adipocytes were isolated from SCAT or VAT. Isolated preadipocytes were induced to differentiate in vitro until day 7. Results showed that VglI3 is indeed expressed in human fat ( Figure 2D ).
  • VglI3 is a relevant candidate gene for adipocytes development, possibly required for adipogenesis or fat tissue enlargement in obesity since VglI3 prevent these processes as it is strongly suppressed in adipose tissue of HFD and of Ob/Ob mice.
  • VglI3 gene was assessed during adipogenesis.
  • mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR during a detailed differentiation time-course of 3T3-L1 (an adipogenic cell line) ( Figure 2E ).
  • VglI3 expression is decreased as soon as the DMI is added to the cells, and remains at very low levels during all 7 days, further suggesting that this gene is specifically down regulated to allow adipogenesis.
  • Example 4 Overexpression of VglI3 in 3T3-L1 cell line decrease adipogenesis.
  • the cDNA of the human sequence of VglI3 was subcloned into the pMSCV retroviral plasmid from Clontech. After infection, the 3T3-I1 cells were allowed to reach confluence and differentiated with DMI. At day 10, cells were stained for lipid content with oil-red-O ( Figure 3A ). The overexpression of VglI3 decreases the adipogenic potential of 3T3-L1. This result was confirmed by measuring the levels of aP2, an adipogenic marke, which is decreased by 90 % in3T3-L1 cells infected with retroviruses expressing VglI3 ( Figure 3B ).
